[PATCH] Enable SLP-vectorization of intrinsics.

[Raul Silvera]

That's what I'm seeing. I can get this code to be exercised if I manually
change the calls to intrinsics, and that's how I've been testing it.

My plan is to have two more phases for this work:
1. Mimic the code in the Loop vectorizer so that we vectorize a small set
of math function calls into vector intrinsics.

2. Develop a configurable mechanism to allow vectorization of arbitrary
functions, integrated into TargetLibraryInfo. This would be configurable so
that vectorization would be sensitive to different vector libraries
available in each platform.
